SLUGGISHA TAPES 35TH ANNIVERSARY!!! 35 YEARS AGO,SLUGGISHA BEGAN!!

    

Yes,it all happened 35 years ago,around this time,and right off the top here,I would like to tell all of you,SLUGGISHA TAPES will be celebrating FOR A FULL YEAR!, until next year's 36th anniversary,with lots of new releases and bands,re uploads,and fresh uploads ,including all media formats,print,video,audio......never yet exposed online,ever,anywhere!! Also an all new volume #15 of SLUGGISHA'S XMASTRAVAGANZA,( https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580120092040 ),  for the 2025 season!! (also here is the Xmastravaganza bandcamp page with tons of the best xmas music you never heard!!  (  https://sluggishasxmastravaganza.bandcamp.com/music ) Next year ,2026 ,will also be a banner year for NOISEKILLR , Sluggisha's longest running project,which started up raising a ruckus ,back in the good ol days of 1986, NOISEKILLR  will be 40 years old,starting out 4 years before the launch of Sluggisha as a label,which was created to showcase my bands and projects,and that of my friends,here in the USA ,and abroad! NOISEKILLR has been waiting for 2026,to unleash one new release ,every day for the entire year!! Many sessions are already recorded,art is done,(and some has been shown on the NOISEKILLR facebook page ,.....  (  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570273493831  why not join today?? ) ,and he is ready to rip out a ton more,video,audio,dreams,and art! WGOD ,my music podcast,which started out as a series of mixtapes around the time of Sluggisha's launch ,as a place to hear Sluggisha bands,and punk,metal,and other styles of modern music,and eventually my buddy,Doug Shannon,a dj at a local oldies station,gave me a small transmitter,to broadcast pirate radio music shows in my local area over the airwaves! He even made me a couple dozen drops and liners ,intros and outros,for my little diy radio staton,WGOD!! I continued making new shows into the 2000s ,and lately my younger son has been telling me I need to get the podcast going for real,and bringing the people music they wont hear anywhere else!  ( many shows can be found online,youtube,and other outlets!!) There have been so many chapters in the Sluggisha timeline,it's as if seasons have changed multiple times,and I believe we are on an eventual course of the last winter season,( in like 25 years or so,hopefully!!!) ,But I will march thru thick fog til death ,on every front!! In the beginning ,the catalog ,(yes ,Sluggisha Tapes,started out as a mail order cassette tape catalog,serving the world!) ,consisted of new bands I had just started,along with a slew of releases culled from local bands,from the mid to late 1980's!Many bands,and friends passed thru the ranks of Sluggisha,some in bands,some doing art,some promoting shows,others just hanging out.So many things have changed through time,many rumors and lies have been perpetrated ,and foisted upon me and my little label that could.I can assure you,none of what you've heard about me,as far as bad things meant to slander me,are at all true.In these days,you must have proof,and there is none against me or any of my bands or my label.On a happier note,though,I remember the salad days ,(and the downtown Ft. Myers club,"Salad Days"), and fondly look back in amazement and wonder how I pulled it all off! When I listen back to any of my old recordings ,or anything on the Sluggisha label,I can pinpoint that moment when I first heard it,and/or recorded it,or wrote it,and every time I listen back,I am truly in disbelief,as to how great I was in my time,every song is a hit to me.Even the new stuff I been doing over the past 10 years ,sounds so great to me,I.m astonished that I did that,I made a great song,or a great piece of art.So many people have helped me and hindered me into some of my finest musical moments.Politics suck ,I lost so many friends over the past 10 years,some new friends ,but mostly old friends ,going back 20,30,even 40 years,over something so trivial and stupid.But this 35th anniversary ,will be a renewal,a cleansing,a fresh start for the label ,Sluggisha Tapes. I am trying to get my late cousin's bands unreleased 2nd LP from 1984 ,pressed and out there for everyone to experience for themselves,it is great ,in a limited pressingand you can pre-order a copy on 12 inch vinyl now!! ( https://sluggishatapes.bandcamp.com/album/erebus ) it will be Sluggisha's first ever record pressed ,(not including the split label 7 inch i put out in 2012,with WCFOOM Records) ,and hopefully the beginning of a new chapter in the Sluggisha catalog which will continue ,with more vinyl pressings in the future.a quick mention of Steven Reed ,who did the Sluggisha cat logo ,and much early artwork for the label,and I am using his art on the Secret Syde LP from 1984,since the original art was lost in a fire,although Ive heard 5 differing stories about who the artist was,and from people claiming to be the artist of the og art in 84.Steve allowed me to use a portion of his work from a much larger piece,for the cover art.Grey Meatballs,Sluggisha's in house artist,and one of my many aliases,did the coloring ang layout for the LP.I was writing a book about Sluggisha Tapes,but unfortunately my publisher,who asked me to write the book,went out of business during covid times.I may just write it right here onto this blog ,and print it one day when i feel ive covered everything! I mean ,just read the blog posts going back to 2008 on this here blog,and you can read about the history of the label,and the bands,and people who were around at different times.The links may be dead for most releases,but starting now ,I will be re-uploading every link,so it can all be heard again..... I have been posting a lot of video on my youtub ( https://youtube.com/@sluggisha?si=7CAmnFOlSmi7NWre ) It is also the 17th birthday of this blog,and Sluggisha's online presence! Between 1997 and the early 2000's ,I got married ,had 2 sons,and finally got back to making music and releasing it,re-awakening the beast!I did a few solo projects in the late 90's into the early 2000's,and eventually started this blog and began uploading all the Sluggisha Tapes catalog ! also started the Sluggisha Tapes youtube page around the same time and began uploading videos,but I have so much more to share,many bands,many shows spanning mostly early to mid 1990s local Ft Myers Florida bands,which is where Sluggisha Tapes and I lived until 1997.Through the catalog,and tape trading ,I met amazing folks like Food Fortunata  a/k/a Dave ,from Wheelchair Full of Old Men Records,and in some bands like Sockeye,Fossil Fuel and hundreds more,much like myself! I was doing a solo band around the time I met Dave ,from our respective catalogs of mail order music,called ,Blood Red Oscars ,and I kinda related it to what Dave was doing with Sockeye,and when someone asked what kind of music this was,I replied ,Tardcore! ,usually getting laughs,or looks of terror...so we invented that genre and name,back in 1990.Also met Chachi on Acid from Canada,and they did a compilation release for Sluggisha,and later we did bands together,Rob Sproul and me,including the great ,Stinky Crucifix  ( https://sluggishatapes.bandcamp.com/album/stinky-crucifix  ) .Also of mention,another mailorder friend was Sean Lambert of Youre Not Normal Records,who was doing amazing things with a bedroom thrash/death sound!my friend Malcolm Tent of the great TPOS  records was an early friend,who is still doing great stuff,and playing bass in ANTISEEN  at the moment! James von Springspinnen has been a close confidant,and constant compiler of any Sluggisha news or music or blog postings! he saved this here blog,when all links were deleted,he had saved all the posts on data discs,and I have been re upping them,had it almost done a few times,and the clouds I was storing on would delete all links. I use only bandcamp and youtube now for storage and archive purposes,and I hope to be able to upload the complete Sluggisha Tapes legacy,before  I die. To leave a lasting reminder of a time that once was,which will never be again,times keep changing,technology keeps growing,and my little diy music label has been moving along thru so much history ,and ups and downs,tradgedies and health scares,births,deaths,and lives wasted.I have no beef with anyone out there,and if you know the real me,you know I am true,loyal,honest,good,and usually stoned.My only wish is for everyone from my past who knows me,get back in touch,and let's keep making music,I'm willing to forgive and forget,any past transgressions,of myself and others,to get past the bullshit,and get back to important stuff ,like making music....fuck politics,fuck lies,and fuck dishonesty ....what about peace,love,and understanding? War ,whats it good for? nothing...say it again! Sluggisha and Wheelchair have done 4 split release together over the years,and Food and I have done a band together ,Z.A.T.H. ( https://zath2.bandcamp.com/ ) for the past 15 years or so,in addition to some one off bands we did one or two songs for on compilations ,etc. ,and through Dave I met Jean-Luc of Thee Epileptic Dragonfly Records (T.E.D. for short),who release a Noisekillr cd and did art,as well as a Z.A.T.H.  cd and epcd,and I hope to continue my relationship with his great label! There are still many Sluggisha Tapes releases available for sale,some physical stuff is on the Sluggisha and Z.A.T.H. bandcamps,and I will make a new page soon for past releases,re-releases,and new product available. And anything you see on the blog ,I can probably upload for you,re up the link ,or produce a physical copy ,if that is your desire.I hope to meet new people to do music with,to release new bands on Sluggisha ,and to catch up with all my old friends.If I didnt mention you by name,pardon my idiocy,I am old,61,and I forget more stuff every day ,as new stuff fills the old shelves,and old stuff gets lost in the cranial caviar.After so many years,and doing so many genres and styles of music ,I still get amazed when I listen back to any of my work.I have to end it here,but there is so much more to tell! please join my blog,and all my other sites,and make Sluggisha a household name,where the music you'll hear nowhere else ,comes from! I probably left out 98 percent of the story,and I dont want to offend anyone,but Sluggisha comes from a place of no censors,no politcal correctness,and no borders...all is open to the world of Sluggisha,and Sluggisha is open to the world.stay tuned to this blog,and I will show you much more! thanks friends,fans,celebrity chums,and lovely ladies ,I love you all,and hope to hear from every one of you in the comments!! Thanks again,for 35 years!! (painting by Phillip Champlain ,also the crafter of the Sluggisha Cat Mascot

BUILDING A BETTER MOUSETRAP - A TRIBUTE TO CAT MACHINE - Lava Church Records 2012 compilation

 Finally!!! after 9 long years,this cassette from 2012 has made it to the blog.CAT MACHINE IS FOR YOU,EVEN IF YOU NEVER HEARD OF THEM!!!Long out of print,if you own a copy,limited to 50,recorded onto recycled cassette tapes,and distributed by Lava Church Records,then you are a purveyor and seeker of ,underground,cult,weird,odd,avant garde musicians.This upload also includes a song which has gone unheard for years,submitted but never added to this tape.Useless Pile's version of "Boiling In The Bathtub",is the final track on this,still a mystery thats never been solved! Anyways,check out this tribute,to the little band that could,a group of punks whose sheer tolerance for the world,impacted an unknown number of kids,into starting their own bands! The band of bastards that spawned hundreds of bastard bands!! Read the notes on how the band (and the Sluggisha Tapes label!) ,got it's start,and read the lyrics to every song included here,also bonus stuff in the download are rare flyers and art. Throw money at this release (and my small,as of yet,bandcamp catalog) ,and help me and my wife survive another day!! thanks all!!!

THE GOLDEN THROWN - Majestick,Rejected

My pal ,Tony Rizzo,co-founder of Cat Machine,and member of many Sluggisha bands,with his latest project! I'll let him elaborate further!

Picking up where The Phantom Third left off, we find Tony Rizzo (founding member of The Mighty Cat Machine, and veteran of countless Sluggisha bands) in Chicago, where he answers an ad for a band to share the bill at a local bar, and gets selected based on the decade old demos of TP3.
  Hustling to get a band together, he recruits co-workers Alex Insco and Jason Sneed, on drums and bass respectively. Crash course in learning a sets' worth of songs. 
   After that one gig, the rhythm section decided it wasn't their cup of tea...despite the fact that other gigs were on the horizon. SO, he brought in Jamie Kallend (who could often be spotted outside of gigs, scouring the gutter for cigarette butts) on bass, and Jason Dolan took over the drum stool. (having never really played in a BAND, before)
   On the eve of a gig set to open for Mugen Hoso, from Tokyo, Jamie says he has class, and we should just not take the gig, if we can't all be there. Tony and Jason say to hell with that nonsense, and played the show as a POWERDUO, and stayed that way, playing several shows in and around Chicago, til Jason moved to New Mexico.
   TGT became totally cohesive, and after one failed attempt at recruiting a bassist (he played well, but annoyed the HELL out of them), never looked back. Sadly, the best recordings they had are trapped on an mp3 player that refuses to respond to, or recognize ANY computer. Also, the display on it got jacked up, so hard to even pinpoint where the best material is.
   Known to cover REM (mainly Monster-era deep cuts), Adam & the Ants,Stooges, and AC/DC (once had a full bar crowd shouting the OI! OI! OI! part on 'TNT'!!!)
 Also culled tracks from several Sluggisha acts, like Myopia, OrangeClawHammer, and Boneshaker.
   Always recorded live, whether to cassette, phone, or MP3--The Golden Thrown were loose, loud, raw and ROCK. or, as Tony dubbed it: dirtypopartpunkfuzzrock

ONE FELL SWOOP - Live! At The Draft House ,Downtown Ft.Myers ,Florida 2/26/1992

I found a lost live recording in the vault! This is a really good one! Our last gig ever ,at the Draft House ,Joel ,our defacto drummer ,had a broken arm ,so he was relegated to keys and also did vocals on a few numbers.Shane Carwile was beating the skins ,Chipmonk and I were on guitars ,and Billy Drake plays guitar on a number with Sean Burch on vocals! The last track is the very first time FUCK (the terror rock band with Mad Asshole-bass vox,Big Black Cock -guitar ,and Shaggy Dick -drums) ever played together ,with a totally improv number ,"You".They later recorded several sessions together,and toured Europe. But back to OFS! Different versions of all their set list ,all their usual covers ,and some improv instrumentals. New covers we never played before include ,Wire's "12XU" ,KISS "Rock N' Roll All Night" and Cat Machine "Queen Turd Of Shit Hill"!And the usual covers of The Fall ,The Flamin' Groovies ,The Beat Happening,Syd Barrett,Pink Floyd,the Stooges ,Misfits,and Black Flag. Chris's guitar never sounded better ,and with Shane on drums ,we were pretty tight! Plese leave comments ,and let me know what you think of this great recording! Thanks! Great cover shot of The Draft House (blue roof) with the shitty ZOO ,next door!

ONE FELL SWOOP - First Gig Practice Tape

This is a re-post of the practice for the first One Fell Swoop gig!(originally posted May 7,2010).
Recorded live, 1/23/1992,(20 years ago ,today!), at Gramps,the Cat Machine house,and the typewriter case,pizza pan drum rim,hammer and pliers drumset is in full-effect.The first half is originals,the second half we cover: the Flamin' Groovies(twice), the Fall, Hendrix(2 hits), and Kiss. The between song banter is good for a few guffaws,and we were still re-learning these songs,picked from several sessions. Good for what it is. The song," I Need Cash",swipes a Kike riff! The first gig led to a residency as the "house" band of the Draft House, (for a few months), we actually cracked downtown wide open ,bringing in opening acts ,and making a place for kids to hang out ,and see and hear local and out-of-area bands. Before that ,there wasn't really any venues for punk/alternative bands to play. Art by Eric J. This has been posted for nearly 2 years ,and only 10 downloads? Well ,now that I've fit it into the sequence of tapes ,posted in order of their recording dates ,maybe more of you will get to hear this!

ONE FELL SWOOP - Nubiles Galore

(picture removed for copyright infringement)


On this ,their final home recording (next up is the live gig tapes ,from the Draft House and other locales!) the trio is joined by Sean Sommers ,and a few "real" nubiles ,Shannon and T.J. This day also saw the one-off recording of a side band ,Li'l Shavers (found elsewhere on this blog) There is also one long-lost track (Pull The Trig) ,recorded in Cape Coral at Mumsy's ,by Count Vance ,with Ed,Joel,& Chipmonk playing ,and Eric "Trig" Triglet, on vocals and mini vacuum ,which I will locate and post ,soon! On this particular recording ,tho' , Black Flag's "Nothing Left Inside" leads it off ,followed swiftly by the golden oldie ,"Shave And A Haircut" ,and then runs thru 6 more college-rock tunes ,and ends with a lo-fi voyeristic track ,"Packin' It In (With The Meat Puppets) ,wherein the core trio talks about several issues and the upcoming Meat Puppets show. A great band ,spun off from the mighty Cat Machine! You deserve everything that's coming to you! I'm talking directly to you ,the listener! Hope you take my tip! Recorded at Cat Machine house ,20 years ago today! Jan. 16,1992!

ONE FELL SWOOP - Crab Medicine

Ed, Joel ,and Chipmonk were joined by guitarist Billy Drake ,the pefect match to spar with Chipmonk's guitar wizardry.And spar they do! Some fine songs are enhanced by Billy's guest appearance ,harkening back to the glory days of the Cat Machine!There is a blow-out Stooges cover (Not Right) ,and it ends with a 12 second hardcore blast ,"Epcot Police State" In between all that though ,you have ace alt-rock ,indie -punk songs ,that the band was always known for. "Minturn ,We Hardly Knew Ye" ,pokes joking fun at Minty ,an older guy musician we knew ,who was arrested for some crap. Maybe a carry-over from Cat Machine's ,"I Hate Vacuums" , the song ,"Ukeleles Suck" is a one-minute blistering blast of anger at the stringed instrument. A few that Joel sings on ,"Lips Of Gods" and "Move Up" ,are true underground alt-pop gems."Born Again Maniac" ,has a tune that will stick in your brain sideways ,like a rotting fish lodged in a dead bear's craw,and will stay with you for days. Don't remind me!

ONE FELL SWOOP - Hector Koriyama

The greatest unknown,underground ,diy ,indie-punk ,alt-rock ,experimental band ever! Don't know where the album title came from ,but there is a short piece ,"Namesake" ,which toys with the album title.There is a positively insane cover of the Beatles ,"Revolution #9" with a brief interpolation of Led Zeppelin's "D'yer Maker" ,which will drive you mad! "Slum Sermon" ,is exactly that ,a preaching on the horrors of poverty.There are more songs ,too ,that only OFS could have written! Special guest (a throwback to the Cat Machine days!) was Sean Sommers,who sings on some numbers ,and may even have played some instruments!Good shit as usual from the power-core trio ,from Ft. Myers ,Florida.

THE CHRIS PARFITTS - Noir

Our comrade ,and member of several Sluggisha bands ,as well as Apples In Stereo ,and his own , Vince Mole & His Calcium Orchestra. This is his latest project ,The Chris Parfitts! 4 songs ,the first ,"Brought To You By Bud Weiser" ,is a typical Chris intro ,with his own voice overdubbed ,as to make it more confusing and trippy. The second track,"See The Red One", reminds me very much of some of my own ,Noisekillr moments ,what with a delay pedal ,and wangin' guitars,all instrumental! The 3rd song,"Destruction Blues", is a blues/skronk hybrid,with Chris's swell vocals,which is reminiscent of his work with Cat Machine/One Fell Swoop. The fourth and final piece,"Meet The Raffles" ,has monkey/bird samples interspersed throughout ,and this is just a great thing to hear. Trippy ,experimental ,awesome,wild,great ,are some adjectives to describe this release.Chris is one of the best guitarists ,and all-around musicians,(and great dudes) ,that I've had the pleasure of knowing. Found this on bandcamp ,but felt it should be here ,with the rest of his legacy.Chris ,if you're out there ,gimme some hope! This claims to have been released ,Dec. 31 ,2011 ,so it's kinda futuristic. Joel ,Tony ,and everyone who knows Chris ,give him praise here in the comments box. Hopefully he'll contact us!

ONE FELL SWOOP - A Little Terrycloth Number

The under-rated,underground,outsider ,cult-band ,spawned from the fumes of Cat Machine ,recorded this ,their 22nd (!) album ,on Nov.21 ,1991. I don't recall how the album got it's title ,but a few songs on this one ,resemble the Birthday Party ,lyrically,musically ,and vocally! I'm talking specifically about the tunes, "Shirt Stuck" , "Drag Yard" , and "Blasted Gallows" , the titles of which even resemble something that would spew from the mind of Nick Cave. There are some really good songs on here,these guys shoulda made a record!

HORRORDACTYL - Destroying Music

Another compilation of Horrordactyl ,the U.K. sensation ,this time doing all his own material ,and including a brand new ,recently recorded number ,"Samhain 2011". There is also Annie ,who may or may not be the spawn of Justin(Horrordactyl) ,singing on one track ,and playing drums on another track. There's tons more of this stuff ,with no end in sight ,as of yet. A melange of industrial,pop,noise,metal,punk,weirdness ,that really can't compare to any other band.I'll be posting lots more of Justin's bands ,including the one above this post ,Chihuahua Zycantah ! He will also be sending in some tracks for the upcoming Cat Machine tribute disc ,and Sluggisha's Xmastravaganza III ,can't hardly wait to hear those ones! His Butthole Surfers covers comp (on this blog!) got over 100 downloads so far ,and his 3 part "Plays Everybody's Songs" covers comp. got over 30 downloads apiece! The video below is for track 9 on this collection ,"Cymbals". Good shite!

ONE FELL SWOOP - The Lungs Have Eyes

The 14th (!) release from this unheard,underground,outsider,cult-band ,who picked up where Cat Machine left off! This is one of my personal favorites from OFS ,with really good songs ,and a cover of "Night Of The Living Baseheads" ,by Public Enemy! A dog named,"Catfish" ,(the song has a weird breakdown in the middle ,with mechanical sounds and some sort of horn),"Mall Music", and "A Metal Thing" ,in which Gramps arrives at the end of the tune ,to talk/inquire about, "a metal thing". I mean this thing is great from start to finish,I really do enjoy it,and so should you. A good starting point ,for those not yet in the know! The album title relates to weed ,in some way!

ONE FELL SWOOP - Cheryl Ladd

The boys kept on bangin' out tapes ,at a rate of about 2-3 a week ,in the beginning here! This starts off with a staple of OFS's live set , (Cat Machine did this one a few times too!) ,Pink Floyd's instrumental ,Interstellar Overdrive. There's only 5 tunes here ,one tops the 12 minute mark ,another just past 13 minutes.For some reason Interstellar Overdrive is the shortest of the songs ,at just over 5 minutes ,when we usually played this one for a good half-hour or so! Don't know how this recording got the title ,my memory isn't the best. Maybe Joel or Chipmonk may remember. Anyways ,check this out ,there's a few more coming this week!!Recorded October 3 ,1991
